I mean, it's like condoms. Pretty effective when worn correctly.

A mask needs a seal to work properly. It doesn't matter what filtration you have if air is getting in other ways.

If you wear your mask improperly, will the viral charge that spread be the same? Some should stay strapped in the mask.
